Distance takes us far apart
And darkens my today.
I have to keep remembering-
You're just a thought away.
When the world is too confusing,
And times are hard to bear,
I pull your precious meaning
Your bright spirit, from the air.
If I sometimes drift into
A lonely state of mind,
I gather up the memories
Of the days we left behind.
And though
you are not beside me,
I can tap into my heart.
And draw
upon the warmth and love,
That lives when we're apart.
And with these fond reflections
On the times
when you were near.
I sense a little bit of what,
It's like to have you here.
